Knowing that I love to crochet, my daughter's sister-in-law emailed me asking if I could make her some "barefoot sandals," and these past two weeks, that's just what I've been doing, which is a nice break from papercrafting for the moment. Besides it's an excuse to not only take a break from paper, but to crochet, and reason to off-load my abundance of mis-matched threads and yarn left overs just being stored in my closet. So I figured I'd show-off some of my creations that I doodled while watching some television. Such pretty feet!
Here I go again, duct tape! I stumbled across this awesome find and just had to share it with you too! However, these are styrofoam ring wreath's wrapped up with TIE-DYE Duct Tape and that's where you'll find the how-to scoop too!
Birds Cards (Free Digital Stamps, Digital Cutting Files and More) gets so many questions regarding how to change the color of her digi's, which she use to do in Photoshop (and knows not many of people have it) that she went out of her way to video show how-to do it in Microcsoft Word - and now, likes using this program all of the time!
This book is full of great mixed media techniques, and projects to try out. If you like eye candy little quilts, the back of the book has lots of samples to drool over.
